WEDDING




CALIE EVERETT


"Ma'am Calie, this are the papers you need to sign for the upcoming projects."

I lift up my gaze to Celine, my secretary. I gestured her to put the papers down on my table. I just sighed and continue what I am reading. There's so much load of works today, since a lot of events are approaching.

"Want some hot chocolate, ma'am?" She softly asked after putting the papers down.

"Oh! Yes please!" I sang in glee and she just chuckled then leave.


Its a right decision na pinili ko si Celine as my secretary. She's my blockmate here in University of Toronto, simula nang dito ko pinagpatuloy ang pag-aaral ko. She became my bestfriend and we clicked up so good.

Instead of building her own company, she chose to work in my family's company. And of course! I hired her as the manager's secretary. My secretary.

I'm a full time manager now, but just for this branch, since I just graduated two years ago. Kuya Aiden remains as the CEO and mom retired a year ago. Pinagpahinga na namin siya sa work since we can handle it naman na. But of course, hindi papayag si mom na wala siyang ginagawa for our company, so tinutulungan niya pa rin kami which is good, she's the owner after all.

"Here's your hot choco, ma'am!" Paglapag ni Celine ng isang mug sa table ko.

"Thanks! Now you may leave.." I uttered not giving her a look.

"Ouch! So grumpy!" Taas kilay na nilingon ko siya nang marinig ang pag arte niya. Ngumuso naman siya at itinaas ang dalawang kamay.

"Okay fine, I'm sorry. I'll go back to work, but remember madam that we have a board meeting later, after lunch!" She energetically said and turn her heels out of my place.


Psh! Minsan talaga ay nakakalimutan niya na nasa trabaho kami and she'll treat me in that way. Well, its fine naman dahil ganon din naman ako sakanya, sadyang tambak lang ako ng trabaho ngayon dahil summer na at marami na namang kumukuha sa amin as event organizer.



Napapiksi ako nang tumunog ang phone ko. I checked who it was at napangisi nalang ako bago ito sagutin.


"Hello Lyle?"


"Calie!! You busy?!" Napangiti nalang ako nang mahimigan ang saya sa boses nito. He's always full of energy whenever he's talking to me.


"Quite of. May board meeting din later. Why do you asked?"


"Well, nothing important actually." He chuckled. "I just wanna show you, yung plates na ginawa ko for your dream house!"


"Oh really?! Tapos na?! That fast?!" I asked flabbergasted about what he said.


Noong nakaraang buwan kasi ay pinadesign ko sakanya ang dream house ko na balak kong ipatayo sa Pilipinas. I really want to live in Philippines of course, since that's where I grew up. And I asked him to design it for me, we even had few hours of talk through video call about what I like to have in my house. Then last week, he said that he's already making the plates for it. Now its done, that fast.


"Come on princess! You know I'm a great architect!" He boasted.

"Yabang mo tanga!"

Well its true, he's great. He even top the board exams, like....yeah that man.
